As of recently Glendale, Arizona was the fourth largest city behind Phoenix, Mesa, and Tucson. While both Glendale and Chandler have right around 250,000 residents each, it is estimated that Chandler will have surpassed Glendale’s population in the very near future.
With the instability of the current housing market, it is difficult to predict the population increase in most large cities across the nation; and Glendale and Chandler are no different. Between 2000 and 2006, Chandler experienced a population growth of 35.9 percent; Glendale only saw a growth increase of 12.7 percent.
The difference in population amongst these two cities does not necessarily mean much to local officials and residents. It is believed that, if anything, there may be a slight impact on potential residents who are researching Arizona cities they may wish to move to.
